GOSH Salim, this is absolutely beautiful!! I love the way it is presented and as much the content - really great!
In wake of the attempted bombing in Heathrow Airport and of tem airliners - and Muslims involved - I think it would be great, would you address the wrongness of their deeds, the criminal mind - and as MOST important, the fact it doesn't have ANYTHING to do with Islam per-se!! Islam does get SUCH a bad name through these kind of criminals ... I think it is HIGH TIME to start to set things straight! What do YOU think dear brother?

Dear brother….

I really liked your bolg and these wonderful information.

Good Job…

May God Reward you for spreading the truth and Real Information about our perfect religion.

I wished if you make it bilingual-Arabic and English… there are people who love to read in Arabic only….or who can't read English. It's good move to make it in English, but we love to read it in Arabic as well. I prefer to read Arabic and not English. It will serve wide base of readers for your blog. You will have more visitors and many people will love to write for you in Arabic.

Try next time to put 2 texts: Arabic and English.

Thank you so much...........
and
Good Luck

Great welcome to our great sister, that is right that the fact of Islam is not these things which we hear today unfortunately and I am so surprise why most of people and media try to connect any mistake of a Muslim to Islam. Why they like to bring the name of Islam when they talk about all these bad things? Do they try to say that Islam is terrorist religion and it’s not God’s religion? To all those people I say if they want to know about Islam, so don’t study it through the people and through their activities and talks, but you have to go to Islam’s Holy Book and study Islam through the Islam’s messenger peace be upon him and Islam is not responsible for the people acts same like Christianity is not responsible for the Christians acts as an example.

Moreover, no body will bring the name of Christianity if someone Christian made a mistake. So why this in Islam?!!! So this is nothing more than spoiling Islam’s name and distort it. So it’s clear to those who have a right brain to know the truth and Islam from the right sources, not from these events. As per my knowledge, when we face any problem or incident and we start to study it; we go mainly to study the root causes of that incident not focusing on the problem itself only. I am against 11 of September, London, Madrid and others incidents which look same, but the question is what are the root causes of all of these incidents and when they were started? Any answers? I don’t like what’s happening in those places, but also I don’t like what’s happening in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechen and other places too. Sadly I think these incidents will not stop until every one understands the other. If you want the peace for yourself; provide it to the others easy as that. I am sure that these people who do these things (bombings) are not willing to do them, because no body likes to die believe me what ever he is or to where he is going after death, but they will not stop because still they can see many of there brothers and sister under unbelievable of killing and raping ways hundreds cases daily with absence of full Islamic knowledge.

Insha Allah my sister I will be posting something in this regard in the nearest future. Thank you again

My sister SamOman thank you and nice to read from you again. I am sorry my sister if I can’t do that right now due to the limitation of my time, but maybe in the future insha Allah and really I appreciate your suggestion and I hope to see more of them jazaki Allah khiran. Moreover there are many Arabic web sites which are really provide much great information and I don’t thing that I can provide better than they really do. If you want me to give you some links for these websites I am ready; I will be glad and happy to do so. Thanks to great sister Ummah waiting for a lot from you, remember this.

Salim, very dear brother - thanks so much for your extensive response! I read it very carefully and think I can explain a few things. I sit here in Germany and have to constantly listen to all these miserable negative statements concerning Islam - I don't know if you in Oman get to hear as explicitely about what's detailed going on here. (BTW .. my last post does as well deal with it - on the sideline!).
Will you be upset if I say I can't agree to a certain point you stress? I'll explain what I mean: if people around here who do not know ANYTHING about Islam, want to learn .. Salim, they will NEVER make the effort (as NON-Muslime and only out of interest) to take a Qur'an and read! In my humble opinion what MUST be done - in particular after this horrid bomb-plot in London, starting IN ENGLAND - is to form a group which teaches the REAL ISLAM THROUGH ACTIONS AND CONDUCT!! This, Salim, is the ONLY way to get it to the people - they must SEE and FEEL it ... anything written in the Qur'an won't mean anything because they need the ACTIONS, which, intheir opinion, speak louder than words! I tell you this as EEuropean because I hear what people say, I feel their anger and their rejection of Islam - and that MUST be counteracted THROUGH CONDUCT, which is the very core if Islam.
You ask why not Christianity but Islam -I explain you: even before 9/11 the actions of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Fateh ect. in Palestine and Hizbullah in Lebanon were widely publizised (by a biased media of course!) and they ALL are muslims! People here are ignorant - you have to take this into calculation - they do NOT know the CORE of the problem there but only the fact, Muslims shoot and kill people! That gave Muslims a VERY bad name ... and then came 9/11! Again Muslims (even though I am NOT 100% convinced!)... and later Musab al-Zarqawi - again a Muslim! Salim - THIS is what people see here - they don't ask or dig for more info .. these are the readers of boulevard-papers who get their "information" on the way to work or back home while sitting in a train or on a break during work - AND in the evening from the TV! That's the way it goes here.
NO-ONE of these people were Christians ... sorry, one was - Timothy Mc Veigh, the Oklahoma city bomber ... but he was, as I say, the only. The Middle east is constantly in the headlines .. and with that, Muslims.
You approach it the RIGHT, the INTELLIGENT way but people here just swallow that without critics as news. NOBODY of the average citizen digs for the roots of the problems which you and I know - the Middle East is too far away for them in order to be able to really relate to it!
I can understand what you say .. they won't stop because they all see these horrid things happening to their brothers and sisters ... we MUST stop this cycle though and the BEST way in my eyes is to start RIGHT HERE - in the current case, in LONDON!! I wish so much I could sit with you and discuss that through ... it is a LOT depending on cultural differences as well and they have to be taken into consideration!
Can you understand my point of view? What do you think?
I DEARLY want to do whatever I can to correct this terrible picture of Islam as I know what it REALLY is ... but it MUST be started here, now and publically - through CONDUCT!!

Thank you sister, but I did not find disagreement between us; sorry if I was not clear or I did not understand it well and there is no upset with me as long we say the reasonable and logical things looking for the truth. You can go to these links to see dream and discussion with the west people through the net and same what you have suggested and it shows that I am working in the same line you think about; go and read it, but it seams that there is no good reaction yet.

The issue from my view is about the people especially in Europe who are mostly educated people and still they are not going to the main sources of Islam to know about it rather than the media and I think you are agree with my in this though. The other one which is the main; that some parts use the media very widely to spoil the name of Islam during. As per my knowledge, that there are several groups were fighting and some still; using Christianity and sometime the Cross on their fighting in Africa, Europe, Spain, Indonesia, USA and some other places around the world and no one blames Christianity by spoiling its name. these people they suppose to understand that the way used by Azzarqawi to kill their people in Iraq -on his land- is much better thousands times than the ways they are using to kill and rape hundreds of thousands of children, women and men in Iraq only. He was doing that against them in Iraq not in US or UK and I don’t think that he will introduce to them flowers and gifts for their great crimes doing there.

I think it’s good to read about the history of the Islamic civilization, Islamic instructions with non-Muslims and how it was so peace with her enemies even through the wars. Thank you sister
